good morning to our viewers in the west. it is friday, november 16th, 2012. welcome to "cbs this morning." david petraeus is telling congress what the cia was doing in benghazi. breaking news. air raid sirens and explosions, violence escalates in the middle east. israel inches closer to sending ground forces into gaza. we are at the border. nfl commissioner roger goodell is in studio 57 to talk concussions, expansion and why your kids should still play football. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. we lost four americans. are there still questions out there? you bet. we're going to continue to work to get those answers. >> former cia director david petraeus heads to capitol hill. >> testifying before a house committee. >> about that deadly september 11th attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi.

>> all while the cia announces its launching an investigation into petraeus' conduct while he was still in charge of the agency. >> petraeus insists no classified documents exchanged hands during his affair. this battle is escalating. >> israel is prepared to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people. as long as i've been here i haven't seen something to this magnitude. >> four people are dead and 17 more hurt after a train crash with a parade float carrying veterans and their wives through west texas. president obama visited new york yesterday to see the damage from superstorm sandy. >> i promise we are going to be here until the rebuilding is complete. and i meant it. >> hostess brands is liquidating. the twinkie maker will lay off most of its 18,000-person workforce. >> touchdown, 79 yards. >> buffalo wins to go to 4-6. >> all that --

>> i just want to say thank you. >> you're very welcome. your very welcome. >> you're very handsome. >> and so that's -- >> that's how i roll, too. >> that's how you roll. >> and all that matters. >> president obama and four top congressional leaders will meet for talks about the looming fiscal cliff. >> nobody likes it. >> nobody likes it. there's so much news now we don't have much time to talk about it. >> yeah. this sex scandal is all anyone i wonder why the country is in financial ruin. i wonder why the country is in captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." i'm charlie rose in new york. norah o'donnell is in washington. so is former cia director david petraeus, meeting with members of congress this morning. >> he has agreed to answer questions about the attacks that

killed the u.s. ambassador to libya and margaret brennan is at the u.s. capitol where closed door hearings are happening at an undisclosed underground location. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: david petraeus told intelligence committee members that the cia knew the assault on the u.s. mission in benghazi was a terrorist attack within the first 24 hours. he says the cia shared that information with the white house, the state department and other agencies. intell committee member congressman peter king told reporters following the hearing that this is a different story than what petraeus told the same committee just two days after the attack when it was described as a result of mob violence. >> general petraeus' testimony today was that from the start he had told us that this was a terrorist attack, that there were terrorists involved it was thought. i told him i had a very different recollection of that.

the clearer official statement given was it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration and was not a terrorist attack. >> reporter: committee members told cbs that the reference to terrorism may have been removed as it was considered classified. petraeus told house committee members he does not know who edited out the reference to al qaeda and terrorism on the speaking points given to congress and to u.n. ambassador susan rice, to described the events as spontaneous. the cia did sign off on that description for use in tv appearances days after the attack. petraeus said he did not speak with ambassador rice before her tv interviews. he did tell committee members he regrets the circumstances that led to his testimony today. he did not answer questions about his affair. petraeus right now is testifying before the senate intelligence committee. >> margaret brennan, thank you. petraeus is still under a spotlight for the affair that

forced him out of his cia job. bob orr is also here in washington with new information on that story. bob, good morning. >> good morning, norah and charlie. fbi officials have told us their investigation into this whole scandal which brought down david petraeus so far has not turned up any threat or damage to national security. but since the affair with paula broadwell occurred while petraeus was the director of the central intelligence agency, the cia's inspector general now has begun his own investigation. sources say the cia is looking into the general conduct of petraeus over the 14 months he headed the agency. officials say the probe is exploratory and doesn't presuppose any particular outcome. the inspector general wants to make sure petraeus didn't misuse any agency assets in the process of carrying on his affair with broadwell. for the first time thursday, attorney general eric holder defended the justice department's handling of the fbi summer-long investigation of the

broadwell/petraeus matter. holder was asked specifically about the fbi's decision to delay notifying the white house until after the election. >> we felt very secure in the knowledge that a national security threat did not exist that warranted the sharing of that information with the white house or with the hill. >> reporter: on capitol hill, lawmakers held confirmation hearings for joseph dunford, man in line for to replace general john allen. hundreds of e-mails are still being reviewed that allen exchanged with tampa socialite jill kelley. republican john mccain said he still supports allen. >> i continue to believe that general allen is one of our best military leaders and i continue to have confidence in his ability to lead the war in afghanistan as well as to serve in the post for which he has now been nominated.

>> reporter: and in a separate interview the nation's top military commander martin dempsey expressed similar confidence but dempsey did acknowledge the effect of the allegation on allen's nomination. quote, i see this investigation and how long it could take affecting that. leon panetta is now directing dempsey to oversee the review of the pentagon over the culture of the military. why so many top commanders find themselves in legal and ethical problems. in truth, that was in plan for a while but the investigation certainly involving petraeus and allen has given the issue new urgency. the clash between israel and hamas is three days old and getting more violent. three-hour truce was held this morning but those in the strip answered with missiles, one of them aimed at tel aviv.

>> reporter: israeli military has begun sealing off a strip along the edge of the border with gaza. troops have come here to tell us and every other broadcaster that we have to leave. we were evicted from a position we were using yesterday. no one will tell us how far we have to pull back or why, but it's obvious something is about to happen. as dawn broke, extent of ground forces made it clear that israel is preparing for a possible incursion. 16,000 reservists have already been called up. the last invasion was four years ago and analysts say hamas will be better prepared this time. israeli warplanes hit hamas positions in gaza throughout last night but did little to stop the rocket fire that, in at least two cases, almost reached tel aviv. by more or less mutual accord, the shooting tapered off shortly after an official egyptian delegation arrived in gaza. the trip was officially to lend world support to hamas, which

egypt's government supports but he was accompanied by officials involved in brokering a truce in the last gaza fighting in hopes of do iing the same again. sophisticated anti-missile defense system that includes both israeli developed revelry. some got through. this family was surveying the damage of their home when fear of another attack sent every one scurrying for shelter. with at least a dozen casualties in gaza, including six children repo reported so far. the three-hour egyptian mission had little to offer in way of immediate hope for either side. calling the fighting a tragedy and said he would spare no effort to achieve a truce. the next diplomatic effort will be tuesday when u.n. secretary general ban ki moon arrives. between now and then, there may be a lot more they have to negotiate if he wants a cease fire, never mind a truce, in

this battle. i'm allen pizzey on the israeli/gaza border. >> george mitchell, former united states special envoy, welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> this clash and the exchange of missiles and troops gathering on the border from going out of control? >> well, nobody knows. at least we don't know exactly why hamas chose this time to increase the number of rockets being sent into israel. there have been long periods of an uneasy truce between the two over the five years. because it's been seen in their best interest. right now, israel obviously has a right to defend itself and is doing so vigorously and will pursue that to detear hamas from doing this in the future. at the same time, israel has a high security interest in maintaining its treaties with egypt and jordan and not taking any action that could somehow

spill over into a larger regional conflict. so there are competing considerings for both sides. the high level of volatility in the region. think about it, syria on israel's northern border, egypt on the southern border, now jordan. there's a lot of volatility, a lot of uncertainty. israel has benefited in a military sense enormously since its creation by disunity and lack of coordination among arabs. and that continues to this day. but they don't want to do anything that's likely to spark a wider conflict that would result in the end of its treaties with egypt and jordan and might lead to some degree of unification between arabs, being eroded by their common opposition to israel.

>> norah? >> how much of this a test for the new egyptian government and president morsi? >> it's a very serious test for president morsi and the egyptian government. they, of course, have the same kind of conflicts in a reverse sense from those that israel does. they're trying to stabilize their own country, trying to recover from the economic decline that occurred immediately following the revolution, which led them into power. and at the same time, they have to respond to a public that is much more aroused about the actions in gaza and, of course, the muslim brotherhood itself is affiliated with gaza. so they are also facing a situation which they have sharply competing considerations and my expectation is that they will try to maintain a

rhetorical response. >> thank you. >> do the missiles have more power today that they're using than they had in the past in that the threat to tel aviv is larger? >> there is a continuous upgrade. the danger is not so much from the 8,000 or 10,000 missile that is hamas has. the real danger is that it could lead to a wider outbreak. hezbollah has more than 30,000 rockets on israel's northern border that are better, longer range, more destructive. and, most importantly, iran has made the technological leap from liquid fuel rockets to solid fuel rockets and they now possess rocket that is launch from iran can reach anywhere in israel with much greater accuracy and destructive effect than those that hamas has. >> thank you, george mitchell. >> thank you, charlie. in midland, texas, george w. bush's hometown every year holds a celebration honoring local veterans.

that event turned into chaos yesterday. a train ran into a parade float, killing four and injuring 17. kosa affiliate jay hendricks is in midland. >> reporter: good morning. it's hoped that their investigation will help these veterans and their families better understand how such a joyous occasion went so terribly wrong. stunned bystanders watched in disbelief as rescue crews raced toward a union pacific train in midland, texas, thursday. at around 4:40 pm a freight train slammed into a flatbed truck being used as a float in the hunt for heroes city parade. carrying 26 people, it was decorated with american flags and had name tags for each person. seated on board were 12 veterans plus their spouses and two chaperones. the group was being taken to a banquet held in the veterans' honor.

witnesses speak to the moments before the crash. >> the truck tried to blow its horn to get the other people in front of him out of the way. >> reporter: as the train approached and the truck unable to move, people began jumping from the float. >> the gates actually hit the first people on the trailer and started going back up and it wasn't, i would say, eight to ten seconds later that the train blew through the end of the trailer. >> reporter: two people were killed at the scene while two others died later. 17 were injured and taken to a local hospital. >> didn't go ding, ding, ding, to let you know. for the people to know there's a train that come by, they didn't know nothing because, you know, it was too late. >> reporter: in 2003 the speed limit for trains traveling through midland was increased from 40 to 60 miles per hour. according to published reports union pacific said at the time that the increased speed benefit both waiting motorists and train traffic. both the crossing arms and the trains horn sounded properly.

ntsb will be brought in to determine the exact cause of this crash. one veteran i spoke to last night said he was looking forward to take part in this year's hunt. he hopes the tradition continues. norah? >> thank you. superstorm sandy, this video has been released showing flooding that damaged train tums between new jersey and new york city. many residents remain without power and heat and struggling to survive. elaine quijano is on staten island. president obama was there to see the damage yesterday. elaine, good morning. >> good morning, elaine and charlie. the job of rebuilding here is so big that president obama has assi assigned a federal point person, asking housing and urban development secretary sean donovan to work with local officials as they begin the long process of recovering. in hard-hit staten island where residents are just beginning to rebuild their lives, president obama pledged the government's support and urged insurance

companies to pledge theirs. >> the insurance companies and some of the other private sector folks who are involved in this, we need you to show some heart and some spirit in helping people rebuild as well. >> reporter: the president met with families who lost everything, like sheila and dominic traina, superstorm sandy destroyed the home they lived in for 32 years. dominic says he's still waiting to hear back from his insurance company. >> when you go to bed at night, you don't sleep because your stomach is in a knot. and it's been a knot for the last 2 1/2 weeks for me. >> reporter: sandy may cost the insurance industry up to $25 billion, according to one estimate. fema's national flood insurance program expects up to $12 billion in sandy-related claims. far exceeding the $3.5 billion it collects in annual premiums. the agency may be forced to ask congress for a bailout. for now, officials say they're working to get money to those

who need it, even before some claims are settled. >> we're working out the real details of exactly the amount of contents, the amount of damage. why would we wait? why wouldn't we give them a little bit upfront to get them started on the road to recovery is this. >> reporter: that's not been the case for janice kennedy, widow and single mother who lost her house during the storm. she has flood insurance but has been told it will be eight weeks before an adjuster can look at her property. >> everybody in this neighborhood, we're devastated. we're just waiting for the insurance companies to come in, adjust us, give us our money. let us move on. you've got your money every month. we're just asking what we've paid for. that's it. >> reporter: new york governor andrew cuomo says he plans to request some $30 billion in federal aid for recovery efforts here. obama administration officials say they can't comment on that. they haven't seen the details of

that request. charlie, norah? >> elaine ,, stormy weather about to slam back onshore. the storm door is opening up just in time for the weekend. a lot of clouds outside into the san jose area. some showers beginning to show up. but it will be picking up throughout the morning hours. and then maybe just tapering off a little bit. you see a lot of yellow and orange moving onshore so rain becoming moderate to heavy amounts of rainfall this morning then tapering off a little bit. temperatures expected to be in the 60s, another band of rain coming in for the commute on the way home. looks like a wet weekend too.

at least seven nfl players are knocked out in one weekend. >> one way i would see that happen is if the moms in this world decided to say my little boy can't play football. >> we'll ask commissioner roger go goodell to see what he's protecting players and the future. >> who do you like? >> how do you tell if humans are inherently good? just ask a baby. groundbreaking research, just how early we can tell right from wrong on "cbs this morning."

welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm norah o'donnell in washington. charlie rose is in new york. good morning, charlie. >> good morning, norah. 6 million american children play youth football and just over a million play in high school and 75,000 play in college. however, jim axelrod reports there is a growing controversial injury that is affecting football all the way to the nfl. >> reporter: suggesting a real lineman taking place. >> is this for good? >> it is. it's an obsession. >> reporter: former nfl quarterback, boomer esiason, is an analyst for nfl today. the league is paid nearly $5 million a year to broadcast football and will tell you it's worth every cent. >> for all of us as americans sundays basically in the fall are all about football. >> reporter: i'm not going to be sitting here with you in ten

years and say what happened? how did basketball get to be the most important sport in our culture? >> the only one way i would see that would happen. that is if the moms of this world decided to say my little boy can't play football. >> reporter: esiason is talking about head injuries, an issue that has exploded as thousandses of former players filed suit against the league claiming that they hid information that head injuries lead to permanent brain damage. three quarterbacks suffered concussions. >> somewhere between 30 and 60 head-to-head collisions. that's just the way it is. that's why the helmets are important. that's why teaching how to tackle, how to run with the ball is important. not only at the nfl level but all the way down to the pop warner level. >> reporter: if esiason and others can view as the biggest threat to the game's popularity,

status as america's favorite sport is in for a long run. for "cbs this morning," i'm jim axelrod in new york. >> roger goodell has been the nfl commissioner since 2006. on thursday he gave the dean lecture to the harvard school of public health, discussing the nfl's role in making football safer for all players. welcome. >> good morning, charlie. >> you spoke to this issue yesterday. has the nfl done enough to stop concussions? and to recognize when they happen? >> well, i don't think you've ever done enough. what we talked about yesterday was a comprehensive approach to tell people what we have done, but we still believe we have more work to do. >> did that very speech was that you were afraid of the public perception of the nfl? >> no. it was to get the dialogue started, to bring recognition to this injury, an injury we think happens in other sports. football is one of our major challenges. we want to show people what we're doing in football to make

not only football safer, but i think we'll make all sports safer. >> we had three concussions last weekend. >> that's right. just one concussion is too many. what we need to do is make sure that our players are using the protection that we provide for them. we want to make sure that we're doing everything to enforce our rules. one of those hits was on an illegal hit that was penalized on the field and also disciplined later. we need to make sure we're enforcing our rules and players are using all our protection. there's no simple solution to a complex problem. >> a cultural shift was needed to change the mentality of players unwilling to disclose when they are hurt. >> well, i told the story in that speech, charlie, about a 15-year-old girl playing field hockey. a friend of our family. and she fell on the turf, passed out momentarily, got up and continued to play. that's warrior mentality in a 15-year-old girl. we need to make sure that when

players are injured, no matter what the sport, no matter who they are, they need to seek medical attention so they can get the proper medical care. >> warrior mentality also is bounty for taking out players. aaron rodgers said the other night -- said the other day, he assumes he's being the subject of that kind of effort, to take him out of the game. >> well, we took a very strong position on bounties for three years we had had charges that it was happening in new orleans. we finally got the information. we took a very strong position. it's cloer that it happened. it's been admitted to, that it happened. we need to make sure that not only in the nfl, but every level of football and every sport, that that kind of thing is inappropriate. you do not have a reward for injuring an opponent. that's not what sports are all about. >> i talked to drew brees recently. he said i would say despite the injustices of the league office and commissioner goodell have

committed against our team and sean payton specifically, i just ask myself, what would sean want us to do? he would want us to be focused on winning football games. he feels like the league has been unfair. >> well, i think the evidence is very clear. and they have their appeals and they're going to go through that. right now it's going to be going in front of former commissioner, but we have 2,000 players and we have to enforce our rules and make sure when we see violations of our rules, particularly in the case of a bounty that can be dangerous to other players, that we are enforcing those properly. i'm not going to, in any way compromise on that. >> you also have raised an awareness about growth hormones as being part of this. what's that? >> well, we've had performance-enhancing drug program since 199 0 against steroids. in the last collective bargaining agreement we agreed to hgh testing program. it would take hgh, hopefully, out of the game.

we think this is wrong for players' safety but also wrong for the integrity of the game. we hope to still reach that agreement with our players association. it needs to get out of the game and sports in general. >> what did you learn from the referee bargaining? >> well, you never want to have those types of disputes go on. that's something whoa apologized to our fans, i apologized to our fans. we don't want those kinds of things to happen. the reality is that they're part of making sure that the long-term good of the game is handled properly. and what we have now is changes in our program that will help to make officiating better. we see t we're still making mistakes on officiating on the field. that's part of it. we think we have the best but we can still improve. >> attractive sports in terms of television and everything else. it's american -- americans love football. is it going to expand beyond america? >> well, we had great success over in the uk, just played

another regular season in uk. we'll expand it next year to two games. we're also playing in toronto. we've had great success in mechani mexico and the far east. i believe our future is very bright overseas. the game is very popular. our fans on a global basis want more and more football. that's what we're doing. we're responding to that interest. >> you talk about the culture. football players in the nfl are role models. and in the nba as well and in other professional sports. how do you make sure that the players appreciate that by their personal conduct? >> well, we have a personal conduct policy, which was put together with the players. and it's very important, because they are role models and they're held to a higher standard. i think all of us in the nfl are held to a higher standard. when we don't reflect well on what i call the nfl shield or ourselves, then we're going to be held accountable. and we have a program that's focused on education. it's on discipline.

when people don't meet the standard of the nfl, we're going to take action. there are consequences for that. >> what do you worry about the most? >> player health and safety. that's our number one challenge and our focus. we want to make sure we do everything to keep our athletes safe and also athletes -- not just football and the nfl but every level and every other sport. >> television coverage makes it attractive to watch the game at home rather than the stadium. is that a problem for the owners? >> it's a challenge for us. our television partner, cbs, they do a great job. watching a football game in high definition, super slow mo is a great experience. that's not going to change. it's only going to get better. our challenge is how do we make sure that that same kind of experience happens in the stadium. we're bringing technology in the stadium, working harder to make sure fans feel safe. when they come to our event they have to have a great experience. >> you wrote a famous letter which i've talked to you about before, to your father. in which you said two things, i want to make you proud of me.

and, second, i want to be the commissioner of the nfl. you clearly made your father proud of you and you clearly have been the commissioner of the nfl, having served a long time at the nfl. how long will you continue to serve as commissioner? >> i will tell you i want to do it as long as i can make a difference. if i can make a difference and make the game better, make it more popular, safer for athletes and improve on what we've done already, then i'll continue to do it. at some point i'll move on and do something else. >> thank you, roger goodell. good to see you. >> good to be with you. do babies know right from wrong and good from evil? inside a baby lab where they're giving us the answer. you're watching "cbs this morning." answer. you're watching "cbs this morning."

that is where the accident is. also, slow and go up 101 through san jose. elsewhere, drive times in the east bay heavy because of an early-morning backup at the bay bridge. still stacked up way into the macarthur maze. all the approaches are slow, as well. that is traffic. for your rainy forecast, here's lawrence. >> all right. that rain making a difficult commute this morning. showers in the bay area early on. and well, we have pockets of rainfall and it's moderate to heavy amounts of rainfall in some parts of the bay area right now. the high-def doppler radar is picking up on that. you can see that band moving onshore. the heaviest right now concentrated in the north bay. watch out for that along the 101. it is going to be coming down pretty well in the san rafael, novato and mill valley areas. next couple of days, more storms on the way.

. here is a look at what is happening in the world and what we have been covering. >> in his first of two briefings, david petraeus told intelligence members that the cia knew the assault was a terrorist attack within the first 24 hours. >> i'm satisfied. i told them they disagree. >> troops have just arrived here to tell us and every other broadcaster set up here that we have to leave. >> the real danger is that it

could lead to a wider outbreak. a train ran into a parade float. >> as long as i have been here i haven't seen anything to this magnitude. >> controversy that is threatening football's future. >> we have to enforce our rules and make sure when we see violations of our rules we are facing that properly. >> after the movie joe biden was like i did not see that coming. ending coming. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king. norah o'donnell is in washington. air raid sirens went off in tel air raid sirens went off in tel aviv, israel this morning. a rocket fired by militants in gaza landed in the sea. second attack in two days on tel aviv. >> throughout the night israeli forces launched a hundred missiles at gaza city. one hit the interior ministry.

israeli troops are facing for a possible invasion. egypt's prime minister visited gaza this morning in show of support to hamas. >> images and propaganda are being distributed instantly. john miller is here with that part of the story. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what are they doing in the way they use social media that's different? >> we've never seen this before which is you've got a shooting war going on that started all of a sudden and you've got the israeli defense forces tweeting out in very real-time, the sirens just went off, missiles are coming, we struck here, we struck there and hamas on their twitter tweeting back we just fired here, we just hit this, we struck that. and you got the war of the missiles but you got the war of words going direct to the public, bypassing the media. >> the risk of that? >> there's no risk of it. if you're the israeli defense forces, or for that matter hamas you don't go through the very critical questioning media filter. you're talking direct to the people. but it's very interesting that

they watch the arab spring and seen what the people can do with these tools and saying why can't a government marshall support the same way. >> do you think this kind of interaction and participation will make a difference? they say it is inastonish tannious that you get to see in real-time what is happening. >> it is. you are glued to a television for part of that. people have lives. they are driving cabs, running coffee stands and getting this on their smartphones and feeling involved because they can talk too. they are tweeting back. and you saw something really strange the other day where somebody said the enemy, this is an israeli tweeting to the idf saying the enemy is trending. hamas was getting more mentions although not followers and they said we need more retweets, there's the war of tweets going on. while bullets and missiles are flying. >> some people worry this makes war even more so different than the reality of war because

you're seeing it electronically. it's like inquestion of waging war without seeing the implications of it. i think what they are going for is not just the removed cyber aspect but a combination of transmitting the information, just conduit of information, that's the easy part. but also the psychological operations when the israelis put up a video where they show them killing the hamas military leader, by the way we can tweet out that if we find one of your -- we know who your leaders are and we can eliminate them with a press of a button. >> three days ago congress returned to washington illinois congressman jesse jackson jr. left the mayo clinic. he's been getting mental health treatment for months and right now nobody knows where he is. jay levine is at the congressman's capitol hill office. jay where is he?

>> i think he is somewhere in minnesota i believe with his mother. the fact is it was kind of eerie in his office. hit the feeling of a museum of pictures and mementos celebrating a 17 year congressional career that seems to be coming to a tragic conclusion. >> reporter: it may be back to business as usual but here at congressman jesse jackson's office it is anything but. his staff is working but the congressman hasn't been here since june. his inner office empty and untouched as doctors identified and started treatment for a bipolar mood disorder. first at the mayo clinic then as an out patient at his washington, d.c. home. for reporters and cameras literally chased him back to mayo last month. he left there on tuesday with his parents the reverend jesse jackson and mother jacqueline and hasn't been seen since. he's not in washington or chicago where his wife is chicago city councilwoman miss a key vote at a meeting she was

planning to attend until a health scare involving another family member. >> it doesn't take a lot to know that she's bouncing as a mother, as a spouse and a public servant. >> reporter: adding to the mystery an investigation into the alleged misuse of campaign funds. sources tell cbs news jackson's legal team is negotiating a plea agreement that could result in his stepping down and doing time. but it's jackson's silence that's grabbing the most attention and even his congressional allies urge him to speak out. >> this situation has reached a point where he needs to come out and speak and answer some basic questions about what he's been through. >> a number of those who have seen and spoken with jackson said he's not close to being ready for questioning let alone full time return to congress. in other words, whether or not it is part of a plea agreement the detarcher of a man who was once seen as a rising star in

the democratic party is inevitable. >> the company that makes twinkies, wonder bred and other is going out of business. carter evans has the story. good morning to you. >> this morning hostess filed a motion with u.s. bankruptcy court to close its doors for good liquidating its assets and selling off its iconic brands. the company does not have the resources to weather the strike. while many workers are still walking the pickett lines hostess says some union members decided to break ranks late yesterday giving up the pickett line so they wouldn't end up on the unemployment line if the work stoppage continued. >> your option if you think there's something better you should go find that job. but that doesn't mean you should strike and put 17,000, 18,000 other people out of work and other families out of work just because you're unhappy with the terms. >> reporter: the economic downturn hit hostess hard. the company behind wonder bread as well as twinkies and ding

dongs lost $340 million last year. they already reached an agreement with the teamsters that took a pay cut but the bakers union went on strike last week. the shelves are nearly bare in los angeles. inside the store they are telling customers all they can do now is hope. but workers say if hostess is low on dough, it should find other ways to cut costs. >> we're not some greedy union workers. we all have families. mortgages. car payments. >> reporter: so you might want to start stockpiling those twinkies. the company says stores will remain open for a few more days to sell off its remaining products. those iconic products will not be gone for good, they will be swallowed up by other businesses

>> amazon.com is the world's amazon.com is the largest online retailer. we discussed whether the internet giant is ready for

retail stores. >> are you headed to brick-and-mortar? >> you know, i get asked this question a lot. the answer is we would love to but only if we can have a truly differentiated idea. so one of the things that we are -- we don't do very well at amazon is doing a me too product offering. when i look at physical retail stores, it's very well served. the people who operate physical retail stores are very good at it. and so it's -- you know, the question we would always have before we would embark on such a thing is what's the idea? what would we do that would be different? how would it be better? we don't want to just do things because we can do them. we want to do something because it's going to -- we don't want to be redundant. >> would it have any advantage other than being a profit senter? >> but that's the kind of question that we ask ourselves when we look for something that would make it not a me too offer. we want it to be differentiated. if you -- if somebody -- if 100

companies are doing something and you're the 101st, you're not really bringing any value to society. and so typically by the way, the business results aren't very good for something like that either. and so what we want to do is we want to do something that is it uniquely amazon. if we can find that idea and we haven't found it yet, but if we can find that idea, we would love to open physical stores. >> what's interesting about jeff bezos is he said to me that the kindles and all that they manufacture are really not because they want to sell kindles so much. it's because they want to sell all the things that they can sell through the kindle. >> he's so smart, charlie. i think amazon is so successful. i'm thinking why would they want to do brick-and-mortar stores when amazon seems to have the market on just about -- you can get anything on amazon quickly. >> that's the idea. tell me what is new about doing it and then maybe we can do it. >> if anybody can find something new, it is jeff bezos. he is something else. the book "kitchen

occur. then they will ask him what people knew and when they knew it and finally they will be very interested in knowing how did the cia respond on the ground? did they offer additional security at the compound. >> we know now defense secretary leon panetta has ordered an ethics review of many of those top serving officials. you were the highest ranking woman at the defense department. is this needed? >> absolutely. leon panetta is a stickler about ethics and a stickler about accountability and he's doing the right thing. >> is there a cultural problem at the defense department tor military? >> don't think it's widespread or in general but this is an opportunity for everybody to take a minute, step back, look at the question of are we affecting ethics in the officer corps. are we doing enough with training and mentoring. he's asked each of the services to review what exactly they do on these issues and report back and see if there's any way to

strengthen the system. >> at the center of this thing is paula broadwell, a west point graduate. she was an army reservist. had done a lot of intelligence. yet she took six trips to afghanistan as a reservist in trying to write this biography and also flew out of afghanistan with general petraeus on his plane to a visit of european capitals. is that an unusual relationship? >> it seems to be a very unusual relationship. it's not something you would typically see, i've never seen anything like that before. >> so is that appropriate to be exchanging that kind of communication between the two of them even though she's writing a biography? what sort of alarm bells did it set off for you? >> again, i don't think people knew the extent of the relationship but the more that's come out the question is why wasn't this noticed when it was building to the point of just before they started their affair. >> this ensnared the current top general in charge afghanistan,

general allen. do you think he can survive to become the nato leader? >> we have to wait for that investigation to take its course. we don't know what the nature of the relationship is there. so, i think we need to presume innocence until the investigation takes its course. >> your name has been mentioned on the short list for defense secretary in the second administration. is that something you would consider? >> well, i'm honored to be speculated about, but i am very happy where i am at the moment since leaving public service. >> all right. michelle flournoy, could to see you. thank you for being her. the president and republicans have stabd out their positions on the fiscal crisis. we'll get advice for them from ,

welcome back to "cbs this morning." president obama meets today with congressional leaders to talk about the upcoming fiscal cliff. >> if they don't agree on a budge deal by the end of the year, there will be automatic spending cuts and tax increases. republican strategist and cbs political analyst met with 12 republicans and 12 democrats and asked them what they would do to resolve the crisis. >> you heard the phrase fiscal cliff. aren't you nervous about what's going to happen to the country in the next few weeks? >> i'm very nervous. it's scary. >> i have good news for you. they're going to wait until the 11th hour and put a band-aid on it. >> of course. of course. >> they always do. they pass the box. and, you know, bring it -- >> and it will be like this. >> you did it. >> how many of you think that republicans and the democrats, the white house and congress will come together, get an agreement and there won't be a

fiscal cliff. raise your hands if you think they succeed. okay. so you're pretty optimistic. you're not. >> no. >> why not? >> i'd like to be. but they've got to put the nation first. they have to stop demonizing each other and sit down together regardless of party, rarldleega of what the media says and work owl real solutions that are going to help us. >> so your definition of putting the country first means taxing anybody that makes overed 2 e $250,000? >> don't put words in my mouth. i don't know what the solution s but in this city, you don't see republicans or democrats seen together in town. it's like you committed treason. sit down and talk without -- they don't have to agree on all the issues. but that's how traditionally we get things done. >> that's where the demarcation line come. do we raise the taxes on the so-called wealthy or do we not? >> show of hands, how many would

allow the bush tax cuts as part of a comprehensive agreement would allow them to expire? okay. barely, barely half of you. how many would allow those on millionaires, those who make a million dollars or more to expire? raise your hands. okay. so we get -- so that's the key. $250,000 is not quite high enough. $1 million is high enough for most of you. anyone else want to say anything about the fiscal cliff? >> we need to do with congress what they did in colonial america with juries. you put them in a room with no food, no wear the, no heat and no bathroom breaks and they cannot leave until they have a decision. >> do you agree with that? >> yes! [ applause ] >> frank joins us now. i'm impressed by the i wi intelligence and common sense of these people.

they reflect this idea of why can't washington do something? >> it's interesting because they voted for change. no matter what side they were on. they voted for change. and they didn't get it. they're kind of nervous that the status quo will continue. they do believe the fiscal cliff is a challenge. but americans are paying more attention to what's happening to washington because they see it affected in their paychecks. they see it affected in the housing prices. charlie, they get it. if washington doesn't solve this, they know they're going to get hurt. >> you asked them about the tax cuts. they seem to be very clear about that. what else are they willing to compromise on? >> well, on that -- what they want more than anything else is cuts in spending. and they're prepared to do virtually anything if you give them those spending cuts. and i'll be specific here. they won't take the cut in medicare. they won't take the cut in social security. but if you change those entitlement programs and raise the retirement age, that they will accept. and so there is some give there. second is going beyond economics. they believe you have to have a solution to this immigration

issue. you can't have the borders so porous. you can't have people here who are living illegally that there has to be a way that you can get workers into this country who want to come in the right way and that you at least legalize those who come in here through no fault of their own. so even if washington isn't prepared to compromise, the american people are. >> so, frank, what is the disconnect between the voters and the members of congress? >> it's very simple. it's the primary process. republicans are afraid that if they compromise, they'll be primaries. some of them were. dick luger lost his election. senator bennett lost his election. there is that fear that those on the right will come after you. and on the democratic side, it's the same thing. if moderate democrats are afraid that someone more progressive will come and run against them if they're seen as talking. and so what washington needs to do basically is both sides need to step out together. if they do it at the same time, if they do it hand in hand, voters will not punish them. in fact, they'll reward them for

getting the job done. >> thank you, frank. i got a kick out of the woman who said put them in a room. no food, no water, no bathroom breaks, they'll get it done. that's an interesting way to go. >> and, by the way, i hope they do it. i just want to be there to watch. >> don't we all? thank you, frank. for decades, young women are banishi is for decades, young women are banishi is vanishing along one lonely,,,,,, over the

over its last four decades, 15 young women and girls have been murdered or just simply disappeared along a rural highway in western canada. locals call it the highway of tears. tomorrow night on "48 hours," peter van zandt follows the trail to a suspect. >> reporter: it's one of the most beautiful, most spectacular roads that you'll ever travel.

and suddenly you see one of the signs and you feel this foreboding on the road. investigative reporter bob freel says highway 16, a remote 450-mile stretch of road in british columbia, canada, is a cruel place littered with broken dreams. >> the royal canadian mounted police force says that there's 18 victims. but if you talk to the local people, they believe the number is 33, 43, perhaps even more. >> we're coming into this area right now. we have two victims from this remote community. >> yes, we have one murdered young girl and one missing young lady. >> reporter: sergeant wayne clary's job to find the killers responsible for all this pain. >> this is the highway of tears. it's a perfect place for someone because they can hide their victims. >> i would add to what you said,

a perfect place. >> reporter: the ages range from 12 to 33. many are teens. >> how's it going? dawn and elden's daughter disappeared from this lake not far from the highway of tears. >> she disappeared. just a few feet away. it's just -- it's devastating. >> reporter: doug leslie from a neighboring town, knew his 15-year-old daughter lauren was in trouble when he got a late night phone call. >> midnight i get a call from the cops saying that -- asking if lauren was there. i said what's going on? he said if lauren is home, somebody is using her id. i thought that was strange. >> what does that mean someone was using her id? >> well, they found her id in a vehicle. >> doug began driving along the highway of tears until he found police lights. his daughter's body had been discovered. >> she was molested, beat over the head with a pipe wrench and

her throat was cut. >> reporter: who could do such a thing? >> not a human, for sure. >> reporter: "48 hours" spent months following the cases along the highway of tears. now after decades of despair, there is hope. >> peter, we have a major break in this case. it involves an american. >> peter van zandt joins us at the table. what a nice way to end that piece. that's a tease. what do authorities know about the american suspect? >> his nam is bobby jack fowler. he lives in 11 different states in the united states and there are on going investigations today in all of those states. they believe he killed at least seven women in oregon, perhaps as many as nine in canada. and this man may end up being the next ted bundy. >> do they think one person is responsible for the victims that you talked about in your story? >> no, they do not. they think there may be another serial killer. they twhi this highway and the publicity it garnered over the

decades was a magnet for killers. >> just the nakt fact it is cal highway of tears is such a bad way to describe it. it's a lonely, isolated area. are there other reasons why they call that? >> simply because of all the women that disappeared, all the pain that's been caused. we travelled thousands of miles of this during the course of this meeting all of the families. the suspect comes at the end of our story. it's a shock to everyone. and a happy ending to this. >> all right. "48 hours" on saturday. thank you, peter van zandt. the name of the piece is called "highway of tears" tomorrow on cbs. if you think "the new york times" is tough on guy fieri's restaurant, wait until you here what our next guest says. at ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

new research just came out. this is crazy. it reveals the closer you live to a bar the more likely you're to become a heavy drinker. yeah. the closer you live to a dunkin' donuts the closer you are likely to become governor of new jersey. >> enough already. anthony bourdain speaks his mind about food and other chefs. the author and tv host put out a new version of his bets selling memoir, it includes handwritten notes discussing how restaurants changed over the last decade. so anthony, hello. >> good morning. >> we had the news that twinkies is going out of business. based on your history, i'd love to know your thoughts about twinkies, anthony. go ahead. >> i have mixed emotions about it. even if they do close forever, the product will be fresh and chewy in 25 years. >> you know, "the new york times" had a very harsh review of guy fieri's restaurant. so harsh that it's on viral.

people say it was a little too much. what do you think? >> well, i haven't eaten there. it was a very funny review. i think it is being positioned now as an elitist new yorker coming down on a nice country boy. i know pete wilson pretty well. i think he was holding fieri's restaurant as it wasn't what it claims to be. compared to an appleby's, does it do what it claims to be? is it what it says it is? he seems to feel it felt short. to be fair to guy, i haven't eat enthe en there. >> what is it you most like to do? >> you know, i clearly like what i do. i like traveling. i like working. i like staying in motion. >> what will you do? >> i'll be doing -- i always look at the country from the vantage point of an eater. meaning i'll be sitting down

with interesting people, sharing their food and listening to what their lives are like. >> and the most exciting place you've been? you and i were talking about cuba. >> well, cuba is a wonderful and thought provoking and heartbreaking and beautiful place. i don't know. vietnam is always -- is sort of my first love as far as traveling the world. >> i was on a plane going to turkey one day and sitting across from me is anthony. you were going to somewhere in central europe. >> yeah. i think so. i forget where i was headed. >> your show is heading over to cnn after leaving the travel channel. it ended on a dicey note over the travel channel. what happened? >> well, i turned on the last episode of my show and saw myself in a car commercial. a perfectly nice car but a car i don't drive and certainly don't endorse. i sort of feel before you put me in a commercial, you should ask. >> yeah. >> is it okay to put new the car? going to cnn, you know, there are changes at cnn.
